The Von Trapps discovered last spring that "The Seem of Music," the film according to their real-existence family that fled Austria to flee the Nazis throughout The Second World War, had been elevated after almost half a century right into a live television event.
Myles von Trapp Derbyshire may be the great grand son of Maria von Trapp, the matriarch from the family, who had been performed by Oscar-champion Julie Andrews within the 1965 film.
Despite the fact that Von Trapp Derbyshire told Caramba Today he does not realise why anybody would attempt to remake this classic film, his greatest issue is the casting of Grammy-champion Barbara Underwood for tonight's NBC special.
"It is simply upsetting this may potentially function as the final broadcast in our story," he stated. "And even though her voice is amazing, she does not have acting experience…. It is simply the general image, she's a rustic star, she won 'American Idol,' she's very public in type of a tabloid way."

A request comment from Underwood wasn't immediately came back to Caramba Today.
To become fair, Myles confesses nobody ought to be delivering Underwood nasty messages over this.
"Used to do feel badly that she has been getting lots of mean tweets from fans from the movie," he stated.
